regarding the projects or it’s implementation. The team and the mentors will endeavour to provide the required help
from their best possible resources. From 1 st March onwards, the mentors will be declaring the issues of the Open
Source Projects and the admins will be looking after the final structuring of the websites. If a participant is willing

by the organizing team for the final evaluation of the participants and the result would be declared by 15th June 2019.
